I love it!

"Pros Setup was easy. Software was easy to use (though some advanced features are a little hard to understand -- might have to read the manual if I decide I need them). Quickly scanned prints and negatives at the default settings, with very good results. The digital images looked as good as or better than the prints I had had made of the photos. I haven't tried the Digital Ice feature yet. Scanner was quiet, did..." Read Full Review »

Would not buy again

"This scanner is about equal to others in its class. However, its limied by the software Epson provides. You need to purchase 3rd party software, such as Vuescan to actually scan at 6400 dpi. The ADF is limied to one-sided scanning and there are no provisions in software for flip pages over and scan the other side. Epson won't even answer questions on this issue. The film holder will not hold film strips fla..." Read Full Review »

"Pros

Scans 10 times faster than my $900 Minolta film scanner, which only worked on a Mac with a SCSI card and took forever to scan ONE slide. Now I can do four at a time! The quality is excellent, better than I expected. I was afraid to look but then I was relieved. I'm testing with B&W negatives b …" Read Full Review »

"I now have slides from my Dad's old Argus, my uncle's 35mm, and my Nikons dating all the way back to 1949. This thing works so well, the family has decided to nominate me the official digitizer and archiver of all our old slides. I just wanted to save my stuff from the last 20 years or so... man, di …" Read Full Review »

"I took a chance on this scanner since I already had a HP Photosmart 3210 (printer, scanner, etc). The HP always produced foggy scans of slides and there always seemed to be a glitch (some slides would scan and others would not !) The V500 really does the trick and offers some fairly easy options f …" Read Full Review »

"I needed a scanner to scan 120 medium format negatives and also some old family photos. For the price, the results for film negatives and photos are both good.
